I haven't been around mainframes in quite awhile, but I'd love to take one of these for a spin!The revolutionary new design of the zEnterprise System addresses the complexity and inefficiency of today’s multi-architecture data centers by giving you the ability to integrate and unify IBM System z, Power and System x resources as one complete system. At its core is the first model of the next generation System z, the zEnterprise 196 (z196). The industry’s fastest and most scalable enterprise system has 96 total cores running at an astonishing 5.2 GHz, and delivers up to 60% improvement in performance per core and up to 60% increase in total capacity for z/OS, z/VM, and Linux on System z workloads, compared to it's predecessor, the successful z10 EC.
The zEnterprise System creates a unified and robust IT infrastructure enabling:
Operational advantages that help reduce energy consumption by up to 80 percent.
Business advantages by integrating data and applications to turn information into insight 5 to 10 times faster.1
For Linux workloads, up to 60% more performance at 35% lower price delivering a virtual Linux server for under $1 day.
